A well intentioned rant about the current state of Advertising, with particular emphasis on Big Dumb Agencies (BDA's) Because, no matter how bad you think it is, it's actually a great deal worse!

The obtuse oz air force!

If, for some very fucking strange reason, you are considering
joining the Australian Royal Air Force… You can’t. Why? Recently the “Air Force
of Oz” has been left red-faced after
running a job ad that asked applicants to solve a complex math problem which
turned out to be unsolvable. Group Captain “Bruce,”
posted the puzzle in a bid to attract the country's best minds to its ranks.
The ad headline "If you have what it
takes to be an engineer in the Air Force call the number below," appeared
above a complicated formula which candidates had to crack. But there was a
slight problem. The
question was fucked up and ended up giving budding Einstein’s dud contact
details. When the cock up was brought to the attention of Group Captain “Bruce,” he thanked them, saying they
were "exactly the kind of people we are looking for." Then proceeded
to get “Maggot” on “Goon!” G’donya mate!

Group Captain "Bruce" heading back to base before "Last orders, gentlemen" in the mess!
